THE political gossips have 1t that
Colonel Morrison is dcsirous Of re.
entering political life and will give up
his place on the Interstate Commerce
Commission to become candidate for
the Fifty.flrst Congress. 1t Is also
rumored that Judge Oberly, weary
with the irksomo duties of n Civil.
Service Commissioner, that, II faith
fully discharged, are sure to keep him
in hot water with his old party friends,
would like TO exchange his present
position for a place on the Interstate
Commission, which he Is well calcu.
lated TO fill. These rumors are so
reasonable that they may be considered
probabilities. Colonel Morrlson's ten.
perament is active, II not aggressive,
and he naturally finds 1t irksome to be
cooped up In n railroad tribunal and
wear his life out with long and short
haul problems. Commissioner Oberly
is of judicial turn of mind and would
doubtless feel at home in the considora-
ton of purely economic questions.

THERE is a Congressional vacancy
in the Second District of Rhode Island,
which derives peculiar importance
from the fact that unless 1t is carried
by the Republicans, they will lack one
of a majority of the States, and, In that
event, would not be able TO elect their
candidate for President, should the
election be thrown into the House of
Representatives.
The States as they now stand po.
litically, have seventeen Democratic,
and nineteen Republican, deleg glttous

will also be tied, and neither party have

that body now stands, be Republican.
The Senate consists of 30 Republicans,
counting Mr., Riddleberger as a Repub-

Riddleberger not vote or vote with the
Democrats, there would be tie in the

CUBANS IN REVOLT.

The People Rebel Against an Attempt to
Purify the Public Service Havana I'm
der Military Guard-Several Conflicts
with Fatal Results.
KEY WEST, Fla, Aug 20 -Advices re-
ce1ved here say that the greatest excite
ment prevails in Havana occasioned by the
recent acts of Captain General Marinin in
taking possession of the custom-house and
placing the officials under arrest The
city is in charge of regular troops
and the situation becomes daily more
desperate, recalling events attending the
massacre of medical students in 1871. A
reign of terror prevails, and it is expected
that Havana will be declared in state Of
siege Already several conflicts have oc-
CURED between the troops and civilians, re-
sultlng in the killing of some and the
wounding of others. Captain General Ma
rln1n has issued proclamation calling on
the rioters to maintain order Otherwise
severe measures will be adopted to uphold
the law. Daily conferences are held with
his military chiefs, and measures have
been adopted to prevent a general
uprising, which is imminent The
Colonies of the volunteer regiments were
called together at the plaza and ordered
to disarm their forces, otherwise they would
be held responsible for what might occur.
The volunteers, who are opposed to
Marinin and are encouraged therein by
political bodies DESTROYS of his removal,
have joined the rioters
So far the Captain General controls the
situation with regular troops, which have
been distributed throughout the city, pre-
pared for any emergency. Artillery has
been placed in commanding positions, while
the troops stationed in towns adjoin-
ing Havana are kept under arms
ready to move at moments no.
tice. All important points in the city
are strongly guarded by regular troops All
confidence appears to be gone. Even the
cable officials are suspected and military
are placed in charge of telegraph offices to
prevent dispatches being sent of what is
transporting. All the important dispatches
between the officials in Havana
and the authorities in Madrid are brought
here by special messenger for transmission.
The replies are also sent to this office. Those
acquainted with Marinin state that he will
carry out his policy of purifying the public
service regardless of consequences, and al
ready a feeling of uneasiness permeates
every branch thereof.

Failure of Extensive Coal and Iron Deal

Failure of Extensive Coal and Iron Deal
with Liabilities of ST, 100000.
PHILADELPHIA Aug. 31-The announce
ment yesterday that Robert Hare, Powell &
Co. and Robert Hare, Powell, Sons & Co.,
the great coal-m;ning firms of this city,
had failed, caused real sensation. The
failure was admitted by John G. Bradley,
who is the manager and partner
in both firms. He stated that the
failure was the result of the suspension of
Charles E. Pennock, of Coatesville, the ex-
tensiye iron plate merchant, whose
paper bore the Endorsement of both
the firms, Robert Hare, Powell & Co.,
and the junior one of Robert Hare,
Powell, Sons & Co. The liabilities he
placed at 81 100000, which is assumed
to be the aggregate amount for which they
became the indorsers of Pennock's notes
that were protested Monday; while the as
sets, consisting of vast tracts of valuable
coal lands and appurtenances are fixed at
So, 600, 00O The Guarantee Trust Company
has been made assignee. 1t IS generally be-
lieved that the assets of the two firms are
far above their liabilities, anu that the course
adopted of assigning the estate was the
wisest to meet all legitimate claims and pre-
vent sacrifices.
At the New York office of the firm the fol-
lowing statement is made:
The assignment was made to the Guaranty
Trust Company of Philadelphia. The failure
was caused by the inability of a large debtor
In Coatesville, Pa, to nay up. We can not tell
the amount of liabilities. All we know is that
the Powell estate is valued at from $40, O00, 900
to $50, 001, 900 and that creditors Will get 100
cents on the dollar. The company owns coal
lands on the line of the Pennsylvania road near
